The maker of the sleeping drug Ambien has responded to RoseanneBarr's excuse for her controversial tweets.

Arnold, who had turbulent four years of marriage with the sitcom star prior to their divorce in 1994 told Cooper that she had a long history of racist tweets.

Though no evidence was provided for the claim other than "sources", Barr's supporters ran with the idea and the disgraced actor even re-tweeted the post herself (as well as several other anti-Obama tweets).

Earlier it fell to $1.1510, its lowest level since last July before recovering to trade 0.5 percent down on the day at $1.1565. Wall Street is also poised for a lower opening with Dow futures and the broader S&P 500 futures down 0.7 percent.

Barr ended her most recent string of tweets by writing, "I end by offering everyone involved one more apology and prayers for healing of our divided nation".

"First of all, I think we have to turn it into a teaching moment", she said. "Will I ever recover from this pain? omg", Barr tweeted, according to CNN. Sanofi, the company that makes Ambien, issued a statement that said: "While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication".

She later tweeted that people should not defend her. After co-stars Sara Gilbert and Michael Fishman tweeted their own condemnation of the tweets, Roseanne fired back.

"Guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me", she wrote in another post. Confusingly, she has also continued to retweet messages that appear to contradict her apology.

"I'm not a racist, I never was & I never will be", she also wrote.

Roseanne also cited Memorial Day - a USA holiday that recognises the sacrifices made by the country's armed forces - as another contributory factor. He scoffed & said: 'what u have done is egregious, and unforgivable.' I begged 4 my crews jobs.
